On going issue on the sidewalks and in the parks all over Oakland. This is a disgusting public heath and safety issue. Also contact the call center to get someone out right away SCF is to slow but good for documenting this ongoing problem.

thanks David ! what is the call center number again? i called that 615-5566 number without success in leaving a msg...

That is the correct number. Monday though Friday business hours. As always when dealing with the City some patience is involved. I have had few problems getting though. Good Luck.

What is wrong with the park department? They never seem to get around to emptying the trash bins. The one across from Merritt College at the start of the York trail is always overflowing.

I am the Park Steward for the Pinto Playground/Owens Field on Redwood Road above Campus. I keep the park cleaned up and roll out the trash barrels on Wednesday night. If I don't, the park maintenance people won't and the Waste Management won't go and retrieve them. The park employees don't lift a finger to pick up anything.
